I The Press and Banner, j ' Ky IIUG1I WILSON & \V. y. BEXEY. Wednesday, Nov. 23, if 77. j The Speakership. We nominate ! '. A. Conner, of Abbeville, to till the p osition of Speaker (,l of the IIoissj of Ucprescnt.itives when I the expected vacancy occurs. The Honorable W. II. Wallace, the! present Spe:iker, will most likely soon b< elected t>? ihe Circuit Bench, to !ijl the vacancy caused l>y Judge XorthropVs resignation. In making the abovo nomina- J tionof a successor we are sure we giv< i e.\pr>?x< "i t'> the desires of all who know ' our worthy representative. Xo man in the' lloui-e is beiter fitted for the post <<! Siteaker, Mr. Conner's record as aciii-j /on, as a representative, as a man of cdu- i cation, und as a gentleman points him out, us u man singularly well qualified t>> pr< - j side over that honorable body. ]\>r :ij ijuurter of a century ho has been well! known as one of tho most inlluential oiti;zeiis in -ibbeville county ; and at critical periods in our history his wise counsels and conservative moderation have had beneficent effect, A s a man of high intellectual attainment, ho has few equals in j :-tuv House. Ifu was for many years pros- j jdent of tho Masonic Female College j Cokesbury, which institution during his presidency his talents and- learning made! ono of tne most successful in the country, j No man is held in higher estocm by thej Masonic fraternity who hayo oonfdrred I .... i.:.,. ??n?i tln? ir hichast honors, vis! uii mm ouimu... ? a member of the House, and a representativo cf the people, no ono lias been more faithful in thu discharge of his duties, paring tho troublous times of last scs- j faiuu Mr, Conner was always at his post; Mini hij influence and experiunou had f great weight among his fellow-mem burs, j while his unsellishneSs and magnanimity I were shown in his being one of the small number who advocated am. voted for a reduction of their own salaries even lower r than the sum ultimately agreed on. His years, his ability, his thorough kuowl-j odge of Parliamentary law and etiquette,! his equanimity of tomper and his quick | perception, qualify him peculiariy for sitting in the speaker's chair. Wo are sure I ho would preside wtyh firmness,' tact, j moderation and modest dignity, ; We do not urge the eieetiou of Mr, Con-; nor from any local considerations. Wej aro not of those who think that all ap-i, pointments and elections should be ad-; justed by a geographical standard of so ; much to the square mile, And yet wej might be suspectod of this, for, truth toj, tell, while we have heard of showers oi l blessings falling from the administrative j heavens on almost every other county, I i not ono drop, so far as we know, ha* fall-1 ( ^ en on Abbeville ground, albeit our conn- , ty, to say the least, is not less deserving |t than her sisters, But let that pass. We do riot found Mr. Conner's claims on rea- ; ( sons so narrow and provincial, We wish ; j' to see jn the Speaker's chair the man best ], qualified for that high seat. And in sol' considering our I'epresentativo wo oflerj, no disparageiuout to the other nominees, i ( Thoseare Col. C. H. Simonton, of Char- ; Jeston ; J. C. Sheppard, of Edgefield; J. L L. Orr. of Anderson, aud ltobert Aldrich, j of Barnwell. Col. Simonton lias occupied the high ; j position of Speaker before, and certainly I, no man ever did or could acquit himself), better, Had lie been a member of the;, House last winter, we doubt not he would : ( have been elected to sit again in tho scat J, which ho had proved himself su well;; qualified to fill. We apprehend however' that the House will not choose its speak-! cr from among the new-comers; but the i ( dusorved honor will rightly bo conferred on some one of those who have borne the ^, heat and burden of the day. As to the., other three nominees, of whom Mr. Sjiep- , herd is tho chief, wo have nothing that is J not pleasant and commendatory to say. > Thoy have shown themselves to lie young! men ofextraordinary worth as Hopresen-] tutives, Jfo one admired more than we I the energy, the ability, the discretion and j tho undaunted firmness which they dis-l played in the trying circumstances of last J winter when men's mettle was put to the] uroof. But while we would not charge I * J Ult'i,; wjiii uir ijiinwuiw vniiiu \'i young men," wo still cannot forgot that j they are young men, who themselves would bo tbe tjrst to confess that some ol < the requisites indispensable in a Speake, j are such as only years and experience can : bring. Their youthful vigor and indcfat- j igable power for work are invaluable 011J the floor of the House. They have, we j are sure, ft long, honorable, and distinguished career ahead of thom. Honors, will certainly crown them In due time, i For the present we think they aro of much more service tq their country tilt- j ing their lance fn the tourney of debate than wielding the gavel as presiding olli- j eer. We therefore strenuously support J tho nomination of Mr. Conner, assured! that the Houso could put the gavel into! no better hands. The Kilkcuny Calx. Among many otiitr thing* imported from Ireland, it seems that we have iu-J troducod tho spirit, if uot the breed of;; tho cats of Kilkenny, so faindd in theji Annals of war. Reu thod following from ! thn New York Jferald : "The Allegiuuijesarc taking the place! of the old Mason aud Dixon's Uue, and , the new "irrepressible conflict" is be-,' tweon the States of tlie Atlantic seaboard 1 and tlioso in the Missisippi Valley, The 1 West is becoming as arrogant, unreason-! j able and fanatical as the South was dm- , , ing the twenty years which preceded tho;' civil war. We are again being drawn into a vortex of geographical politics. The] recent proceedings in Congress show that, the old seetiolna division hot ween the; North and the South has been superseded by a new sectional division between the; East and the West, and the conflict is j hardly less bitter and less irreconcilable! t ian were the old spent controversies Ik- 1 tween tho North and the South. The i:tt reasonable domination of the West is no more to be atibmitted to than was the u:ireasonublo domination of the South." We remember reading in .Esop's fables j about the lion, tho fox and tho ass that, went a-hunting together as partners, and how when the game was caught the donkey was torn to pieces by the lion for j presuming to ask for his share of the spoils. We also remember, how not long | ago, tho rampant North-Eastern States the cunning Middlo Statos, and the long- j eared Western States came a-hunting to-1 gether South of Mason nudj Dixon's J line?and a terrible hurt it was for the' ptag they brought to bay. The successful. hunters are quarrelling now. j The Dollar of our Fathers. Tho Bland Sliver Bill has passed the i House and is In the Senate, If made law,' silver will he a legal tender for all debts private or national. At present a silver dollar its worth 92 cents; that is si* cents less than greenbacks. Thus all debtors will havo aa' opportunity of foiling at 1)4 cents on the dollar. A great hullabaloo is being made in the North and West for and against said bill. The terms Mluna- j tics," "idiots," are specimens of the mild j endearing mannor in which the opposing j parties address each other. As for us, we j do not know much about Wall Street1 philosophy, and are not versed enough ju ; political economy to be authority on re- j monetization, or bi-inonetary standard. Such knowledge is too strange for usWe are not particular as to the sort of dollars we get?greenback orsilyer?if only we can get plenty of them. We shall not haggle about a tew cents. We confess however to a sentimental liking for hard cash. A silver dollar feels more like money than a greenback. Still "either sort in always welcome, and sub wT'bors need not fear to send us either or both. ??? r i ill i i iiH.MMiiu.iiMnniiT.wwa The Supreme Bench.

These have been diseussec in tho public press, and on the publi platform, and we ran trust our Hrprcsen tatives to do oven more and better worl this year than was accomplished last year Cut in addition to this tho ordinary Jegis lativc work, tho Senate and tilt; 1 (<?us< will have to attend at once to tilling soim vacancies i:i high places. Theso arc tin position on t):e Circuit Bench made va cant by Judge Northrop, to which Speak er Wallace will doubtless be elected ihe consequent vacancy in the Speaker's chair, which we hopo to see tilled by oui Representative 1"\ A. Conner; and, inos important of tho three*, tho vacancy 01 the Supreme Bench which Associate Jus lice Wright will surely make by his res ignat'.on, ?o prevent its being made by hi: impeachment and removal. For thi: high olljee several candidates have beel :umouiu?cd in the newspapers. I'ity it i: that wo have to speak of can [idut< a for ; seat 011 the Supreme Bench. Time wa when we breathed the spirit of a purer ai and South Carolina knew not dug o electioneering for the high honors of lie judiciary. One of the unlovely fruits o Radicalism is this besmirching of the ju dicial ermine with tho dust and dirt o canvassing. In better times those higl otlicfs sought tho men. ? Of those brought fortvard in the news papers the most prominent aro W. D Porter, of Charleston, ex-Ooveriior Bon ham, of Kdgelield, and Col. A. ('. Has keli, of Columbia. Tho merits of tiiesi gentlemen have been freely and conspie <i;</miwi-i1 in tho nress of ou State. Some of the papers have evei urged the claims of their favorite <'aiKli late on geographical grounds, urging tha because county A has obtained the elect :ion of Judge 1? and county V the elect ioi >f Senator l>, therefore county E justl; laims the election of F. For our par ive consider that the course of the (?en mil Assembly is clear and unmistakable It is theirs to elect to the Associate J ustico <hip the man best qualified for the dm lerformance oi tlio duties of that lii^l tfice. Let them select from the gentle lien nominated the one most distil ;uished for his legal attainments and exlerience, in whom tiie legal professioi md t|ie country can place most eonli lcnce, whose learning, ability ajul judi:ial mind single him oul as the best littec! ;o discharge the onerous duties of the Supreme 1'ench. ?

Hut tlx country demands that the judiciary b< kept high above so impure .an atmos plicrt'. It asks its Representatives to b( careful of this one thing---to elect to tin Supreme Bench that one of her sons wlic is most likely to prove an able jurist aiu nn upright judge. If not disappointed in this its just demand, it will forgiv* the mistakes of last session when mam of its Representatives acted against theii country's wishes and their own opinions It warns the Legislature not to be inllu enced unduiv. It tells them to let no se cret influence have weight in their coun cils or caucuses. It calls upon them t? guard jealously their independence am their integrity, and to emulate the higl character of that British Parlianien which would not brook the exercise o *(.< ! <.? iniliicticc suid undue interfcrenc" oven by Uu: th roue. Last Night's Mail. Tlic JVcu.s ami Courier of yesterday re ports lively canvassing in Columbia foi the various otfiees. In the ''nice lor As soeiatc Justice" (sir) it represents litis kcll ahead, hat stationary, while Por tor's and ISonham'x chances ar< strengthening. It says that probable Lieutenant Governor Simpson will be i candidate with a strong chance of elec tion. Attorney-General Conner in i short note gracefully declines to be a can didato. Wright denies that he has re signed. For the Speakership, Sheppan is said to lead, Siinonton next, Orr an< Aldrieh behind. There is no doubt o Wallace's election. The Register has i letter nominating Col. T. Stobo Farrow i>f Spartanburg for the Senate Clerkship The L. E. A.

We are informed i hat the Grand Secretin-}* lias succeeded in eU'ceting such arrangements with the various railroads as will enable all Masons and their families, throughout the Slate, to visit Charleston, from the 7th to the Mth December at greatly reduced rates, the tickets to be good for ten days front their date. The following rules, however must in all cases be observed: .Masons proposing to visit Charleston must obtain certificates from their Lodges, und excursion tickets must be purchased at the starting point. The South Carolina and Greenville and Columbia Railroads will sell round trip tickets from Greenville and all lnternifldiaic points, at about the rate of S10 from Greenville and 8-"> from Columbia ntui Augusta. The Grand Secretary's certificates of attendance will not be recognized as return tickets on the railroads. Excursion tickets must therefore lie purchased at the starting point, or in cases where delegates take the train at a tlac station at the next ticket station If t,hey should be unable to procure round trip tickets from thd conductors.
